June 27

Will be my babies' birthday, unless they decide on their own to come early. We scheduled my c-section today, though, and it will be Monday June 27. Exciting! I've updated the "ticker" above to reflect that date. It makes the timing of what week of pregnancy I am in wrong, but it's accurate on when they will be here.

Family Photos
I'm scanning old family photos today, including some of my dad when he was a baby, my grandfather, who I never met, and lots of other stuff. It's from a collection of old photos I just "inherited" via my mom & sister, and I'm going to clean them up, stick them on CDs and pass them out to family. It's so neat to see these old fashioned photos, though. I don't think photos are nearly as cool nowadays as they were back in the 30s and 40s; there is this quality to them that you just don't get in modern pictures. The only problem with these pictures is because my dad & mom split when I was so young, and my dad really hasn't been active in our lives, I don't know very much about the people in the pictures! I'm even not exactly sure of my Dad's dad's name! I think I know it, but he died when my dad was young, so I never met him. I met the man my Grandmother remarried when I was a baby, and he was always my Grandpa after that. But I want info! There is very little written on the pictures. I think that is a lesson to everyone-- write the names of the people you take pictures of ON the picture, because you never know who will get them someday who has no idea! But I'm hoping, once they are all scanned, to have my mom & dad go through them and identify and label and tell me stories about these people, so I can pass them on to my own kids. It sucks not knowing your own family's history, but I really don't know much about my Dad's family.

Anyway. Back to work! I've got some pictures of myself in here from when I was about 12. Great hair. Maybe I'll consider sharing. :)
